Leveraging Splunk for U.S. DoD IL5

Driving Mission Success with Data-Driven Decisions

Client: Splunk, a Cisco Company

Format: Strategic Cloud Guide

The Challenge: Defense and intelligence agencies must analyze vast amounts of data at scale to cope with rapidly evolving threats. However, migrating mission-critical information to non-government cloud providers has traditionally been blocked by the stringent compliance requirements of DoD Impact Level 5 (IL5)

The Solution: This guide translates the technical architecture of the Splunk Cloud Platform into a clear business case for DoD decision makers. It details how agencies can meet DISA's rigorous IL-5 security controls while leveraging a FedRAMP authorized platform to ingest data once and apply it to every action across multiple defense use cases, ultimately achieving mission speeds without sacrificing security.
